The program map below represents the courses a student would take entering with the Cloud Computing AAS. The courses students are required to take in the DevOps program in quarters 7-12 depend on the degree a student brings into the program. The Computer Network Design and Administration and the Software Development AAS degrees also feed into this program, and each have a set of required courses in the DevOps program. No student will be allowed to register for quarters 7-12 without meeting with DevOps faculty or Program Specialist
 
Note: It is required for all DevOps students to meet with DevOps faculty or Pathways Specialist in order to register for DevOps courses. Students will be given detailed instructions for which courses they should register for and their success in the program is dependent on appropriate course selection in each quarter.
